Mechanic work.

Boss wanted pics of boat he’s picking up. But I got tied up with this mechanic work. It’s tuff being a mechanic and I let it get dark.

Tough job but somebody’s got to do it! God bless you bro. Mechanics make the world go round

Oh I’m not a mechanic. I just had to put a rearend in a recliner. Took a while to wrap up the job. Lol

Never hurts to be not afraid to turn wrenches

:Rofl, man I thought we were going to get a new project or something

For a few seconds, I got excited too! :Rofl

I agree from a mechanic myself, I mean a retired mechanic, unless it’s my stuff.

New, old boat project already needs bearings. Easier just to put new hub on so I can make it home with this project after the expo. You'll see more about this later.

Yay! :popcorn

I always carry a new, complete hub as well as an aluminum floor jack, a plastic 3500 lb ramp, a 20 volt impact, a cheater bar, and 4-way lug wrench. With tandem axles on my trailer, the ramp
lets me pull up or back up to raise bad wheel off the ground.

Nothing better than being broken down with a smoking hub on the side of an Interstate with 80mph traffic whizzing by 3 feet away!

I saw a big bay boat rig burn on the side of I-75 in Florida from a hub that was ran until it caught fire.

Great advice. I made it home. I did replace both hubs before I even started. One of the bearing seats were stuck, a big chisel took care of that. Made it home with the new project. Yay

Ducky, see your trailer in the background?

Boat needs a lot of work. Gotta find a motor, gelcoat seen too much sun. Solid except for main floor, gotta look at that to see why it wobbles. Came with finders, and good 24 volt trolling motor. Thanks for hooking me up Bama S.

My former trailer. Good to see it has survived. It saw a lot of miles loaded to the hilt with snow goose hunting gear. Served me well.
